Chapter 990 Revisiting an Old haunt
"Xiao Lingxi, Xiao Lingxi, you little thief..."
Zhao Mu called out for a long time, but there was no response. It seemed that the person was probably not there.
Since he resorted to methods like roasting meat, the little girl didn't jump out on her own initiative, and no one knows where she went. Has her experience in the mortal world ended?
"Forget about him, let's go to Skull State!"
Zhao Mu was too lazy to deal with the little thief. He changed his position and continued to enjoy the rich woman's lap pillow. It was soft and fragrant, and he couldn't put it down.
Of course, they couldn't simply take a detour, since their business was more important.
However, the journey to Tianlin Abyss happens to pass through Skull State.
"Ok!"
Yan Qingyue reached out and touched Zhao Mu's cheek, her beautiful eyes filled with a tenderness that was even more intense than usual.
She was quite looking forward to revisiting this familiar place, which was almost the very route where she and Zhao Mu had fallen in love.
Back then, the two were chased all the way to Skull State by the Thousand Demons Sect. Every moment of their experience was unforgettable.
Skull State is not close to Hunyuan Taiqing Palace. It took more than half a month to arrive by flying boat and teleportation array. The first stop was naturally the cave where I almost became nourishment for the Evil Eye Ghost Willow when I first entered Skull State.
After two days of travel, the two finally arrived at the border between Thousand Demon State and Skull State, reaching the place where someone had kept the Evil Eye Ghost Willow back then.
This area has changed dramatically.
Back then, due to the Evil Eye Ghost Willow, life in this place was cut off, and most of the living beings were devoured. Later, due to the lightning tribulation, this area was extensively destroyed.
When they were seriously injured and left in a sorry state, this place was a complete mess.
But now, it has been completely transformed.
The area destroyed by the lightning tribulation has been covered again by lush forests. Although there are no ridiculously tall trees, the trees on Kunwu Continent grow much faster than those on Blue Star due to the nourishment of spiritual energy.
In just a few years, trees have appeared that require three to five people to encircle.
Not only that, but there is now a fairly large town here, with at least three thousand households.
"I never imagined that this place would become so prosperous in just a few years!"
Walking down the streets of the small town, Zhao Mu smiled and remarked.
"Oh, you two visited Changliu Town a few years ago too!"
When someone suddenly spoke up, Zhao Mu and Yan Qingyue didn't say anything. After all, when outsiders appeared, some people would inevitably follow.
Moreover, Zhao Mu is tall, strong, and handsome, and although Yan Qingyue is wearing a veil, her luxurious clothes and tall figure clearly indicate that she is not an ordinary person.
This combination is most likely to attract the 'tour guide' to come forward.
"Yes, I've been here before. Back then, this place was a desolate wasteland. I never imagined that in just a few years, it would not only be full of life, but also have such a large town."
Zhao Mu casually struck up a conversation.
"Back then, the people of this place were all devoured by the Evil-Eyed Ghost Willow. It seems that when you two arrived, the calamity here had just passed."
"However, what's amazing is that after the death of the Evil Eye Ghost Willow, it nourished this land. There was even a tribulation lightning back then. Lightning is both destruction and life."
"In just one year, this place has come back to life."
"Many people discovered that the medicinal herbs grown here have exceptionally good properties, which attracted many people to cultivate the land, and gradually this Changliu Town came together."
"In addition, this place is close to Mangdang Mountain, which is rarely visited by people and has many spiritual herbs and plants that grow naturally, attracting many cultivators to stay in Changliu Town."
"The development has only just begun. Perhaps in a few years, Changliu Town will become Changliu City."
The boy, barely a teenager, patted his chest with considerable pride.
Clearly, he has a strong sense of belonging to Changliu Town.
After hearing this, Zhao Mu and Yan Qingyue understood the general situation. Zhao Mu smiled and took out a low-grade spirit stone from his Qiankun Ring and tossed it to the boy.
"Thank you both!"
The boy was shocked to see that Zhao Mu had used low-grade spirit stones so readily, and he was filled with gratitude.
This was the first time he had ever received spirit stones; before, he had only received gold and silver from ordinary people.
"You're welcome. You tell the story, I pay you. It's a fair trade!"
Zhao Mu smiled slightly and prepared to take Yan Qingyue for a stroll.
"Gentlemen, do you need food or lodging? I can recommend places for you free of charge."
"Need not!"
Zhao Mu waved his hand. It wasn't that he didn't want the teenagers to earn some more money, but rather that they had no intention of staying in Changliu Town. Instead, they wanted to return to their homeland, and that cave was their true place to stay.
As for food....
To be honest, they really looked down on the food in Changliu Town.
Development is still insufficient; even the meat of a third-tier monster has not appeared among the ingredients.
He now needs at least a seventh-tier demonic beast to eat, so he can hunt one himself when he goes into the mountains later.
"Have a wonderful time in Changliu Town!"
The boy, who was not yet grown up, did not insist. Instead, he bowed and saw Zhao Mu and Yan Qingyue off, showing that he was a very tactful person.
Changliu Town has several thousand households, which sounds like a large town, but it's actually quite small.
Because this is the Kunwu Continent, even the smallest city has a population in the millions, and the large cities have populations of tens or hundreds of billions, which is ridiculously large.
Two main streets and several side streets; the two of them had explored them all in no time.
"Go back!"
"Ok!"
As evening fell, the two left Changliu Town and headed up the mountain. The cave was still there, and because it was rarely visited, it was almost exactly the same as it had been back then.
Upon entering the cave, Zhao Mu, just like in the old days, directly brought out the large bed from his Qiankun Ring.
Yan Qingyue sat upright on a rock, next to a vine wolf, a seventh-level early stage wolf with excellent meat quality. When she cut the meat, the smell was not bloody, but a faint chestnut fragrance, which was quite unique.
"Senior Sister Yan, please..."
While Zhao Mu was dissecting the Fujiwara wolf, he was startled to discover that the wealthy woman was actually trying to start grilling the meat, and he repeatedly tried to stop her.
"Why are you making such a fuss? Didn't you already teach me once back at Hunyuan Taiqing Palace?"
Yan Qingyue revealed a hint of girlishness and glared at Zhao Mu with a somewhat resentful look.
"Senior sister, ask yourself honestly, did you really listen? Did you really learn it? Besides, back then it was stewing, stir-frying, and deep-frying, but this is roasting, it's different, okay?"
Zhao Mu quickly finished the dissection, then went to Yan Qingyue's side, snatched the meat from her hand, and grinned, "You just wait to eat, I'll take care of it."
"Hmm~"
Yan Qingyue nodded somewhat shyly.
I didn't really study it seriously; I was too busy competing with myself back then.
Moreover, Zhao Mu is right. This is barbecue, so let's not waste the ingredients. Although the Fujiwara wolf is not small, men have a very big appetite. It will be too difficult to hunt down another seventh-level demon beast in this area in a short period of time.
crackling sounds~
The fire quickly heated up and illuminated the entire cave.
A light rain was falling outside, and this scene gave Yan Qingyue a feeling of returning to those days.
